okay, sort of fair point, but are really phone numbers are the best to generate a has from
i mean yeah i guess thats a unique identifier, since we are here on nostr i guess that is a valid question to create unique identifier hashes without having duplicates, because if im not wrong this is how crypto wallets and nostr identifiers work, why is a phone number the best proof of somebody being an actual human being, like ai agents can have phone numbers as well, and on the other hand if it is just a hash i can generate other peoples hashes on my own device with giving other peoples phone number, or dont you think this is a possible point of failure?
